Saturday, January 12 Gallery 1261 Opening reception, 6-8pm Escape, an exhibition by a group of remarkable painters who each have masterfully captured the magic of our natural environments. The names of these national and international favorites are already known and familiar to the Denver art community and the caliber of their skill is indisputably revered. Aside from their long honed mastery of painting, what these artists bring the public in this exhibit is that they each create a “scape” of a kind—be it landscape, seascape or cityscape. Through January 26 Abend Gallery Opening reception, 6-8pm Elsa Sroka, Ablaze. In this solo comprised of eighteen canvases, Sroka presents a variety of subjects—animals, botanicals and landscapes, all of which exude a forward-thinking, contemporary attitude. This body of work continues to play with vibrancy of color, as well as finding that elusive and delicate balance of additive and subtractive painting. Elsa resumes exploring the role facial expressions of her subjects and the emotional connection to them play in the process of creating the art so undoubtedly Sroka. What emerges from these explorations is a new level of complexity of elements: color, texture, composition, and detail, shifting focus from the sole subject, to the entirety of the painting, and thus, enveloping the viewer with a full sensory experience.

Thursday, January 17 Robischon Gallery Artist's Receptiont, 6-8pm Enrique Martinez Celaya, The Boy: Witness and Marker, 2003-2018. This is the first solo exhibition of this highly acclaimed Cuban-born artist and author. The extensive presentation features painting, photography and sculpture investigating Martínez Celaya’s re-emerging theme of a boy and the psychic or philosophical forces which surround. The new and earlier select works reflect a poetic exploration into the nature of vulnerability, power, confidence and fear, while allowing the physicality of each medium employed – oil and wax, bronze, watercolor, wood, tar and straw – to carry with it a sense of the ineffable.

Three Concurrent Solo Exhibitions in Abstraction by American painters Deborah Dancy (CT), Gary Komarin (NY) and Tom Lieber (CA). The artists featured distinctively pursue a range of vocabularies in abstract painting from the provisional to third-generation Abstract Expressionism while contributing to the ever-evolving contemporary dialogue. With Dancy’s gritty structures and gestural mark, Komarin’s colorful, animated line and unexpected commingling forms and Lieber’s high-velocity brushwork in grand scale, the works on view offer insight into the terrain of the psychological as well as the physicality of paint. Through varied line and surface, Dancy, Komarin and Lieber confidently embrace the unassuming beauty and awkwardness of paradox, while recognizing both the gravitas of complexity and the exuberance of the unencumbered mark.

Fire and Water, a collaborative show between artists Ralph Wiegmann and Suzanne Truman. The patterns, sensations and rhythms of nature have been an early influence on the art of both Wiegmann and Truman. The two artists have both experienced a profound sense of awe and appreciation throughout their lives in various natural settings. The patterns of the vast natural landscape and geological striations compelled the two artists to explore their own relationships with the land through abstraction. Wiegmann speaks about his work as subconscious expression which arises through the process of making. The result of which is a distillation of experiences and memories and recurring rhythms.
